Walk Notes (or lack thereof) for February - March
So it turns out I'm not very good at keeping a regularly occurring note taking practice - or maybe I didn't try hard enough. I kept up Walk Notes for four weeks and then I fell sick for a week and didn't feel inspired to keep track of thoughts, feelings, sightings, wanderings.
Instead I harboured it inside and felt a bit pent-up. (It was also mid-February, for which I feel anyone can be excused for losing hope)
Now I am here, on a train, somewhere in France, writing this note. There are white and grey clouds hovering above the landscape and it is March.
I'm listening to Bill Callahan's album Dream River and I have two seats to myself. It seems like a moment to restart something, walk note related or not.
I am reminded of blogging in motion.
I've been working quietly on the train, preparing for a workshop about publishing to the handmade web. I am excited and nervous for it, a mingling of emotions that feel similar to the current weather.
I've gathered a collection of websites that I think are good examples of what publishing on the handmade web means. I didn't include any Week Note writers in this, but I think I will add the original Walk Notes.
The train has just entered into the channel tunnel. Has anyone walked here and gone from one side to the other? The amount of barbed wire that surrounds the entrance makes me wander that if someone has, whether they did it by choice.
Somehow, I still have a WiFi connection down here, under the sea.
